Heh
Indeed, a server shouldn't allow more than 32 clients or the game will just break. Not only a matter of ACS (#define MAXPLAYERS 32), the zombie attacks in DECORATE were designed for 32 players too. So it's not that simple. If I manage to recode the infection script without using multiple damage types, you can expect some 64 players compatible version of ZH. I could add the 32 missing damage types but I'd prefer to avoid doing so.

Oh hey I remember that game, after that I believe was when I came and said about the zombie bug

[Xsnake]

• DrDoctor's Hospital and Castlevania maps are the only maps that haven't been touched since their initial release?
• Zm05's maze is the exact copy of the maze in Tomb Raider Anniversary?
• The zombies initially had 8000/4000 HP on ZM maps?
• ZH's development actually started in 2007 but went IDLE for two years and a half?
• "Virtual" was supposed to introduce a new weapon : the stinger missile launcher from MGS2? It was developed but never included. Screenshot.
• The 4th beta was never released?
• The achievements system was entirely developed and functional in one single day?
• The mid-air jumping acceleration was initially supposed to be disabled?
• The zombies claws were introduced later? Zombies initially had a knife to infect humans.
• The infection system originally didn't print the infector's name?
• zh-beta14 was supposed to introduce player class morphing for zombies but that idea was abandoned since morphed players cannot crouch?
• The first zh betas were nammed "zm4-betaX.wad", zm standing for "zombie mod"?
• The very first beta (zm4-beta1.wad) contained two maps : ZM01 and ZM02 and was released in August, 2010?

More to come.

I started Zombie horde, when zombies had knife, If I remember there was a map from doom2's campaign and humans never tried to kill zombies because there weren't fire grenades, items, ..., so it was very hard.

Today this version is really different compare to the first one, and its greats.

Good trivia, brings back old memories :)

And if I may add one: Grandvoid started hosting ZH on September 18, 2010 (zh-beta14.wad with 6 maps).

Xsnake, again for the "only survivor" Achivements:


Only with "Mission Failed" the script is working and give it to the last player number in the game (in the pic's case: ghoul-player 19)
Im still dont know how the counter varible can be 1 if all humans restart...

[Xsnake]

This should be fixed in the next version. Thanks for reporting.

Also, are these two achievements triggered properly at the end of rounds ? Or are they still bugged ?

[Mr.Man]

Hey xsnake, why shoulnt we add level anchievements? I mean, if you allow, you could add alot of new anchievements, map based, since alot of people have all anchievements.

They are still bugged (Just work in Mission Failed as I said)
We need some (6) players that will help to test it in the server and see how it works bcz I think its a online bug and not a script.
Still, Xsnake, You can check the script that call the achivements (811) script (901) to see if you call there another functions that bugged it...

[Xsnake]

Alright! I've found the issue for good. Finally!
I'll make a patch to fix that this weekend.

Good!!!
What was that?

[Xsnake]

Code: Select all

function int checkSecurity(void)
{
	bool bot_counter=0;
	
	if(DISABLE_SECURITY)
		return SECURITY_SUCCESS;
		
	for(int k=0; k <3 2; k++)
	{
		if(PlayerIsBot(k)){
			bot_counter=true;
			break;
		}
	}
	
	if(GetCvar("sv_cheats") || GetCvar("survival")==0 || bot_counter) || PlayerCount()==1)	// <---- issue here
		return SECURITY_FAIL;
		
	return SECURITY_SUCCESS;
}

Initially, the number of players was checked to make sure people would not unlock achievements in single player. PlayerCount()==1 would make the security check return FAIL. What I didn't think of is that what would trigger an "only survivor" achievement would also make PlayerCount()==1 true. That's why it never worked.

LoL, Finally you did it! Good Job!

Hey xsnake, why shoulnt we add level anchievements? I mean, if you allow, you could add alot of new anchievements, map based, since alot of people have all anchievements.

Remember, the mappack levels are separate from main ZH. If you don't include mappack, nothing really happens. You can even load old mappack with latest beta. Not talking about testpack maps.
This would break if you created the map-specific achievements. The similar applies to main ZH maps because then you wouldn't be able to change the map gameplay much.
There are too many achievements in late games... If you really want to have tons of achievements, try out Achievement unlocked.
That game link was a sarcasm, don't take that seriously.[/size]

That's pretty much what I'm thinking. I've got nothing to add.

As promised, here comes a little patch.

zh-beta27-fix1.wad

• Fixed some achivements being triggered when mission fails.
• Fixed the "Only ZM/ZE survivor!" achievements for good!
• Ze02 : players could get stuck in barrels at start. Fixed.

Wads order : zh-beta27, zh-beta27-fix1, zh-mappack, zh-testpack

Please confirm that the two achievements are fixed. But I'm 99,9% sure they are.

[Xsnake]

Sorry for double posting. Here comes another little patch.

zh-beta27-fix2.wad

• New random function based on the current tick and on the tick the previous map ended on.
Hopefully this will fix the zombie selection redundancy. This is experimental.
Set "zh_old_random" (Cvar) to true if you want to switch back to the old random function.
• Attempted to fix the bug that causes everyone to get infected when the scratched player is lagging.


Wads order : zh-beta27, zh-beta27-fix2, zh-mappack, zh-testpack

I'll be expecting your feedback on the new random function. Also, let me know if the bug that I mentioned (all players infected at once) still happens.

[fr blood]

Does it supposed to be put here ?

Oh and I've an Idea for an achievement, I don't know if it will be hard to achieve, but here is : "Be converted or die" --> Infect a human, if he uses the syringe, kill him. So a zombie need to infect a human and kill this same human if he uses the syringe.

Edit : Here are some other achievment.
- For the Humanity : You need to kill more than 1 zombie and don't join the safe area, and the humans need to escape the ZE map. So you sacrifice yourself for the good of the humanity.
- Purifier : Kill 5 Zombies with one Holy Cross.
- I'm not dead : Infect 2 humans when your hp is under 100.
- Who's the boss ? : Infect all humans on a game ( this achievment will work only if there are more than 9 humans to infect ).
- You said something ? : Kill all zombies on a game ( this achievment will work only if there are more than 3 zombies to kill ).
- Brainzzzz ! : You need to be hit by all sorts of damages ( fire, bullets, fall, ... ), only to infect one guy.

While I am against adding too many achievements (I am just bored of these being on every today's games)...

- For the Humanity : You need to kill more than 1 zombie and don't join the safe area, and the humans need to escape the ZE map. So you sacrifice yourself for the good of the humanity.
- Purifier : Kill 5 Zombies with one Holy Cross.
- I'm not dead : Infect 2 humans when your hp is under 100.

These achievements are actually an interesting idea, maybe the numbers and name could be changed. On the other hand...

- Who's the boss ? : Infect all humans on a game ( this achievment will work only if there are more than 9 humans to infect ).

This achievement exists, it is Epidemic.

- You said something ? : Kill zombies on a game ( this achievment will work only if there are more than 3 zombies to kill ).

I just don't follow this.

- Brainzzzz ! : You need to be hit by all sorts of damages ( fire, bullets, fall, ... ), only to infect one guy.

This would be too hard to implement. You cannot check the type of damage like drown (IIRC it has normal damage type). It is possible by the DECORATE but still, too much work for just one achievement.
